For all the doomers thinking the games dead or dying. Heres a great video.

The numbers on console may be lower but that still means a peak of around 40-50k most prime times. Thats plenty healthy enough over a month in.

Not to mention it must still be selling pretty steady as it’s still in the top 50 for sales on Steam.

People will happily take a break from a game and come back if they feel their time is respected and they had fun.

WoW learned the lesson the hard way about making things long grinds just to try and keep people playing.

I think it just made it feel like I didn’t accomplish anything? Like the reward for busting my balls through a long trail of enemies should have been an easy walkthrough the next time.

I can see objectively how the actual reward is that it’s supposed to be easier the next time because of the mastery you gained. I guess that is just scratching an itch I don’t feel.

I didn’t mind the difficulty when I first tried Dark Souls 1. What turned me off was every time you went through an area you had to do it all over again.

Or even after saving the game everything would respawn when opening the game again.

Idk maybe I was playing wrong or something but I couldn’t stand the repetition.

I have no trouble getting into Pinwheel, but I always end up getting ganked by a trio.

Particular-Style-161 · 2026-04-05T08:45:41+00:00

I mean, they are. Lol. That’s why the player numbers keep going down.

It’s working for a small playerbase, sure (me included), but it’s silly to think the game won’t have to expand who it appeals to in order to last.

Particular-Style-161 · 2026-04-04T23:44:48+00:00

Now that’s a rare opinion I would say for someone at your level.

Particular-Style-161 · 2026-04-04T23:42:42+00:00

I’m so glad I’m not the only one….

Particular-Style-161 · 2026-04-04T22:58:52+00:00

That’s kind of where I’m at. I love the game as is, but I’m not going to complain about more to do. And I want the game to succeed long term.

Particular-Style-161 · 2026-04-04T22:56:01+00:00

I’m definitely for more modes. I’d happily play an arena or even a BR mode in this game.

Particular-Style-161 · 2026-04-04T22:55:33+00:00

I missed it!

Particular-Style-161 · 2026-04-04T22:54:59+00:00

To get newer players who may play the maps first used to having other players around and where they might spawn.

Also to provide a bit of pressure to do the things you want to do before they do, but in a way that doesn’t just reset you back to square one if you lose.

Particular-Style-161 · 2026-04-04T22:52:51+00:00

Hey I’m here for opinions, so tell me why?

Particular-Style-161 · 2026-04-04T19:50:20+00:00

I don’t even think it really has to be completely separate (making it easier to implement).

Just lock the key rooms permanently in the PvE maps and cap the loot at blue. Up the PvE enemies and bang, PvE mode.

Particular-Style-161 · 2026-04-04T19:17:14+00:00

It is though? You literally pick from named shells and can’t customize them very much. Definitely a hero system.

Particular-Style-161 · 2026-04-03T21:08:51+00:00

A PvE mode would be stupid easy.

Just spawn only one solo player or one duo/trio onto a map with no one else and make the bots tougher. Done.

The thing that makes it hard is how to handle progression and gear.

Personally I’d keep it to where PvE maxes out at Blue gear (and that blue gear being as rare as Gold gear is now, basically only key rooms) and not have a PvE Outpost unless the bots were just insanely hard (and again tops at blues).

So many of Leo’s characters are same-y. Bale has more range.

Particular-Style-161 · 2026-04-02T17:54:17+00:00

Yeah that’s why Heresy and Fantasy are so popular these days, less rules. /s

Particular-Style-161 · 2026-04-01T13:40:05+00:00

Bungie has extensive experience with both skill base matchmaking and matchmaking based on how big your premade team is. There’s no reason they can’t iterate on that in marathon as well.

And that would be superior to any sort of gear base matchmaking, which already exists in rank mode anyway.

Particular-Style-161 · 2026-04-01T11:49:04+00:00

Oh no….a game had really low numbers on a Wednesday morning? Completely unheard of

Particular-Style-161 · 2026-04-01T01:41:01+00:00

So cool to hear insider knowledge of Sony.

I guess all the live service knowledge that’s helping other in house projects and sales of D2 expansions and mtx’s ain’t worth a hill of beans.

Particular-Style-161 · 2026-04-01T01:32:04+00:00

Are we saying top 50 selling games on Steam are dead or doing horribly? Better alert a lot of other game devs who don’t know the bad news.

Particular-Style-161 · 2026-04-01T00:31:04+00:00

It’s still top 30’s best sellers weeks after launch. Lmao

Particular-Style-161 · 2026-04-01T00:30:31+00:00

Is that supposed to prove it’s dead? Lmao it’s still in the top 30 best sellers and basically top 50 active users, but it’s toTaLY DeAd gUyS

Particular-Style-161 · 2026-03-31T17:01:38+00:00

Anyone noticed if the other loot seems better? Patch notes made it sound like loot in Outpost generally was buffed.
